Package: nautilus Product: nautilus Component: Desktop Synopsis: [Solaris Multihead] multiple persistent and visible volume mount points at the Severity: normal Priority: Urgent Bugzilla-Product: nautilus Bugzilla-Component: Desktop BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 Use a Gnome desktop. Insert a CD-ROM (e. g. Solaris 9 installation CD) in your CD-ROM drive, eject CD-ROM and repeat this procedure a few times (also with other CD's). A lot of persistent CD-ROM symbols will populate your gnome desktop. If you eject a CD-ROM the symbols should disappear, but they don't. This still happens in Beta 3 and fcs_03 builds on SunOS puncher 5.9 s81_54 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 brian.nitz@sun.com 2002-11-15 kalpesh.shah@sun.com 2002-11-19 This problem seems to be limited to multihead setups.

Stephen, Mark, In multi-head machines fm_desktop_icon_view_init is called twice and hence the callback for the VOLUME_MOUNTED signal is attached twice. Because of this whenever a removable media is inserted we are getting 2 icons though the signal is emitted only once. Can you please give me pointers to proceed with this problem. Thanks.
This could be related to bug 99383

This is not needed anymore with the new way the desktop is handled.
